The New Orleans Hornets continued adding to their roster Monday, coming to an agreement with small forward Joe Alexander, the eighth overall choice in the 2008 NBA draft.

New Orleans is also expected to have small forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu on the training camp roster as well, team sources confirmed Monday evening.

Alexander played 59 games with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2008-09, averaging 4.7 points per game. The 6-foot-8, 230-pounder from West Virginia played with the D-League’s Fort Wayne Mad Ants for part of 2010 after the Bucks declined to pick up the third year of his rookie contract. He was traded, along with Hakim Warrick, to the Chicago Bulls for John Salmons.

Mensah-Bonsu, 6-9, 235, has played for four NBA teams since being signed by the Dallas Mavericks in 2006 as an undrafted free agent and has appeared in a total of 54 NBA games with the Mavs, Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets. He has a 3.3 per game career scoring average.

The addition of the two free agents now puts the Hornets roster at 16. The first of training camp two-a-days begins Sept. 28 at the team’s Alario Center practice facility.
